THE GOOD TIME COMING.


The labor agitators have been busy telling
all who would hear them that tits growing
harder and harder for the poor to live, and
that the time is coming, if there is not rebel
lion, when it will be almost impossible for
them to live. But men like Edward Atkin-
son and others who really study the matter
are more hopeful. They not only believe
that it is easier for the poor to live, and live
we'll, than it ever has been, but they think
that progress in this direction will continue
to be made.
DR.. Werner Siemens,a a distinguished scien-
tist of Germany, is one of those who take a
hopeful view of the future. He draws a very
attractive picture of what the workman of
the year $500 will be able to do. He points
out that within a hundred years We have
brought into use the steam engine, the loco
motive, the telegraph, the photograph, the
perfecting press, the telephone and the cleo
trio dynamo. He thinks we ought to do far
more than this in the next hundred years,
and so on. With this idea as foundation
the Doctor thinks that anybody who is SO
fortunate as to live in the year $500 will be
able to provide himself with food, clothing
and shelter at an expenditure of labor meas
ured in minutes where o-day it is measured
in hours. The machines then in will till
the ground, plant the crops, reap the har-
vests, carry enormous loads to and fro across
the world, and do all this at cost infinitely
small Machinery will do in hours the labor
which now requires years from
thousands of men. DIR. Siemens sees no
product necessary to the physical comfort of
man which the wonderful machinery of the
future will not be equal to making automat-
ically And he intimates that it will then
be possible to make food artifcially, COM
bining its elements from the raw material
without waiting for Natures help.
This is indeed glorious prospect, and
who can say that it may not be realizeda The
man of $500 may have to work about ten
minutes day, and will be able to spend the
rest of the time in art galleries and libraries.
OF course then the saloons will all be closed.

Omaha Burlington and Quincy has made
$4,5O0,000 out of it's land grants in the
State, besides $4,000 acres unsold; the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul has made ST.
219. 900, has %, 600 acres on hand and ex-
poets another grant of 5000; the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific has made 81, 147, 900
and has on hand 1900 acres; and the Iowa
Falls and Sioux City has made $3,677, 900
and has left almost 25, 900 acres.
The Scout and Mail, the Philadelphia or
gan Of the Grand Army of the Republic, has
this to say about the dependent pension bill:
In another column will be found the full
text of the dependent pension bill, followed
by the Presidents veto. We ask our readers
to carefully consider both, that their opin-
ions may be formed intelligently. There is
no doubt that the class of persons mentioned
in the bill need relief. The Grand Army of
the Republic is in favor of liberal pensions to
those who need them and favors such legis-
lation as will accomplish the purpose. But
they want laws plain that no interoreta-
ton can be put upon them by those charged
with their administra ion that will defeat
their purpose. We have too much of that
kind of legislation now. When such high
as the chairmen of the Senate and
House committees OF pensions differ in their
of bill, what can be expected
of men of less calibre who attempt to apply
its provisions to practices There is entirely
too much insincerity on the part of those
who make pension laws. If they want to
help the soldiers or their dependent relatives
they can pass plain, easily understood law,
practical in application, to which there is but
one Interpretation and which the President
could not find reason for vetoing.

English in the RlIIliner,s shop.


English has invaded the millinery stores.
Not the English goods and English styles;
they came long ince and established them
selves as firmly as possible in rivalry of
French goods and styles. Between them
domestic invention has little chance for recog-
pition. Now the native language is banished
and in its place is introduced what purpoIts
to be English as it is spoken in the Queens
domlnions. The young women who attend
to the wants of customers are trained in
ticulating the English accent and in using
English phrases, SO that now the casual visi-
tor at one certain millinery establishment
may fancy herself in London at hearing such
barbarisms as: "Fourteen and 'awlf, - "It
is all eout OF style neow,' introduced at eve-
ry possible preteHt. The aim is to give the
impression that the clerks are English as
well as the fabrics, and in the majority of
cases the rule succeeds, perhaps though 1t Is
problem how much financial benefit results
from the innovation. But there are times
when the imported clerk gives herself away,
revealing the fact that she is an import al ion,
but from very different quarter than the
realms of cockneydom. Such was
that of a girl in Twenty third street estab
lishment whose fiaxen hair, stolid face and
blue eyes gave one strange impression of
beer gardens, gutturals and pretzels; she was
arguing customer into the choice OF bon
net The customer inclined way, the
London clerk another, and the first words I
heard were quite English: "Ah deon't think
SEQ But when the lady replied with some
further objection the clerk lost her accent
partially in the excitement of barter and ex
claimed: 'tBut eet looks particularly nice in
nahsty vetter!" She could say ''nahsty"
without fail, but weather betrayed her. An
other importation showed that her education
in Queens English had not been begun early
enough, when in similar emergency she in
sisted to customer: ''This is thought
vahstly we'll of in London, ye knew; I niver
hurried the loikes av anybody in Lonnon"-
she got no further. The proprietor happened
to be standing near and caught the clerks
eye in the midst of her relapse into ingue
vernacula. Alas, poor Erin! I am afraid
that imported clerk got her walking papers
that very night.

The following is copy of the letter of re-
gret sent by Mayor Hewitt to the Young
Mems Democratic club of Brooklyn Tues
day night, on the occasion of their dinner to
Governor Bill:
New YORK, Feb IA.
Frederick R. Lee, Esq, "a Park Place, New
York city:
have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the 9th inst, asking
me to be the guest of the Young Mems DEM
ooratic club of Brooklyn on the 22d inst, at
its annual dinner. AS you are aware, l am
just recovering from very painful illness,
which does not yet permit me to leave my
chamber AS q matter of course, it will be
impossible for me to have the pleasure of
dining with you on the 22d but send my cor
di Il greetings to the club and the distinguish
ed Democrats who will be present, and trust
that the laudable object at which you aim,
the protection of the Union and the success
of the national Democracy will be achieved.
The principles of the Democratic party are ON
trial from new force which has suddenly
appeared in politics and which will de-
stroy the party unless it is boldly confronted
and the dangerous and pernicious effects of
It's principles and doctrines denounced and
made clear to the public. The Democratic
party regards the individual as the unit OF
society, the integrity of which depends en-
tirely upon the personal liberty of the cltl-
zen. Jefferson and his associates drove the
federal party out Of power on this issue,
which, indeed, was fundamental in the
struggle which gave US our free gov
ernment and produced the constitution.
Until the civil war broke out no man ques-
toned the right OF the white citizens of the
United States to dispose of themselves and
their labor in any manner which might seem
GOOD The war extended the same rights to
tbe eoIored race as the white citizens had
previously enjoyed, SO that up to very re-
cent period every citizen of this country has
been free to employ himself and pursue his
happiness in whatever direction might seem
to hi m to be good. Within the last five
wears however, a secret organization has
been growing in strength and power which
seeks to enslave the labor of this country and
make it subject to the irresponsible
domination of men unknown to
the people, who are not officers
chosen by the people, and who are not crea-
lures of law responsible to free public opin-
ion and to the constituted authorities for
their action. Gradually the leaders of this
BODY have succeeded in stamping out all
personal independence on the part of large
number of workingmen of the country by
refusing to permit any persons to earn living
who are not affiliated with this secret 6rgani
zation. In this way the workingmen have
been coereed into blind obedience to- ire
sponsible power and the condition of those
who have tried to remain outside of the or
caniZation is in many cases truly pltiabie.

penalty OF stopping ell work, how
ever pressing and important. This is tyr
rany, against which the Democratic party
has ever struggled and which it must now
confront and denounce in no mistaken tones
1t is true that Democrats holding high posi-
tions have coquetted with this new and dan
gerous element in politics and even attained
offices by submitting to the humiliatio., of an
apparent Endorsement of the false ana dan
gerous doctrines which have been put in
practice at such a fearful cost in our own
midst within this present month. Unless
the Democratic party shall now, and
at once, absolutely disown and con-
denim all organizations which seek to
place the individual under any other control
than that of the laws and deprive the citizen
of his right of free action it will perish as it
ought to do, and I desire on this occasion to
emphasize this issue one TO which you and
your fellow members shall direct your atten-
ton in the hope that the next State conyen-
t1on and the next national convention will
condemn, as Washington condemned, all Sc
cret organizations which undertake to usurp
the functions of the law and destroy the free
agency Of the citizen
have the honor to be very respectfully,

Ex-Judge Arnoux, of New York, says that
the saloon traffic is an exception to the rule
of demand and supply. In all legitimate
business the demand creates the supply, but
in the saloons the supply creates the demand.
1t has been proven in many cases that the
consumption in liquor is reduced by reducing
the number of saloons, thus disproving the
assertion that just as much liquor will be
drunk, whether there be so saloons or 500.
